Ritual
I’ve been guiding individuals and communities through rupture and change by crafting beautiful rituals for 25 years. I am an Herbalist, and a Ritualist. I am the Bowl Keeper in our community. I tend plants, people, and place. Click to read more here.
I would be honored to tend to YOU in this time.
Transition | Life Cycles
It is happening. Or, it has happened.
YOU (or someone you love) are going through a big change in life. You seek to mark time and space intentionally for all that has changed. To be held in a safe container. Or, to pause and reflect as you celebrate a milestone, mourn, or reflect on a miracle. When we craft a beautiful and transformative ritual to clarify and solidify your wellspring of intention.
Delve into a curated experience with tangible practices of solace, celebration, and an accountable path forward. Be witnessed as you go through your metamorphosis. Emerge a FromSoil2Soul ritual nourished, recharged, and replenished. It’s time.
Your FromSoil2Soul Ritual includes four parts:
*An online meditative exploration as we customize your journey.
*Creative practices to focus, attune, deepen, and expand your way through transition. Receive a living document I customize and write for your Ritual.
*Bespoke Ritual. You choose from a menu of homegrown and handmade ingredients.
*An online session for post-ritual reflection and integration.
Available in-person or online. Once we speak, let’s plan.
End of Life Rituals
I am so sorry for your loss. May the memories be blessings.

I work closely with Hillside Memorial, Mt. Sinai Memorial, and Life Source Natural Burial.

Herbal Tea Blending Ritual
FromSoil2Soul Tea Ritual + Weekly Rooftop Meditation
Each week, join us to make tea, and meditate.
I begin crafting a blend on Friday before Shabbat. I reflect on the week and ask what blend can nourish our family and our community. Then, I harvest our homestead herbs and craft with a three-part structure — a steady base; supportive herbs; and an accent to carry the herbal healing forward. The process itself is the ritual: harvesting, watching water rise to a boil, inhaling the first lift of herbal steam, observing the colors deepen as the plants infuse, and allowing the plants to simmer as the brew deepens and preserves the plant’s volatile oils.
Join our weekly rooftop meditation (9am, Shabbats at Shalhevet) and sip my herbal tea throughout the morning Shabbat service at Ikar. Source 1/2 lb bags of my artisanal tea blends through my online FromSoil2Soul shop.
You are welcome to make this part of your Shabbat morning ritual, cup in hand, as we sit, and let the plants teach us their Torah.
